• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Oh, he is there. He has come back. He is also a good friend of mine. I have also missed him. The problem is that I cannot come to the bar. Once I am around, you will allow me to have tea at the lobby, like the late General Nkaissery used to do. I agree with you. For the dryland areas of Kitui and Garissa, Dr. Jane and KFS have the solution of trees that do not require a lot of water. They are trees which will grow and even help the communities out there in terms of commercial activity. ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me start by thanking Hon. T.J. Kajwang’. This is a current question because Nairobi River is a currency that is important and a priority to this government and the President. As you may be aware, the President recently launched a ground-breaking and ambitious climate resilience service programme called Climate Works. Its aim is ecological restoration of our urban rivers, mainly starting with Nairobi Rivers, while maintaining public infrastructure and housing through labour intensive and sustainable public works. I will have another day to talk about Climate Works. It contains a lot about Nairobi River ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: of Nairobi City County that he must remove dumpsites along Nairobi River. We are going to call to order the companies that he has contracted to carry garbage, including the private ones that come to our homesteads to pick up garbage. We will sit down with them and have a conversation on this matter. The biggest environmental challenge in our country is that waste management is devolved. Pollution and zoning are also devolved. No county in Kenya today can tell you which dumpsite they have. We see garbage falling off trucks as we drive behind them. We will introduce very ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: the illegal discharging along the riparian area. Out of the 145 facilities, which we have mapped, 101 facilities have been listed by NEMA as having compliance issues because they do not have the required discharge according to the law. I have attached the list. I have nothing to hide. Yes. Even the banks, I have sat with them. They have a sustainability obligation – the Kenya Commercial Bank (KCB) and Equity. If they are giving credit to a company, or to a factory that is destroying the environment, even the sustainability of that company will be in question. We have ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: My final shot is to the Members of Parliament from Nairobi City County, majority who are seated here. Please, help me, the President and the multi-agency team. There was a Question that you would like me to deal with when I appear before the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining. I was ready tomorrow, but I have been informed that tomorrow Members have other important business. Mine is not important anymore. So they have given me a date of 15th. As a ranking Member, this business is very important so you better go and do it. I have no ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: So, Hon. TJ, I got a letter from the Committee that we meet on 15th and not tomorrow. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Speaker, you are a ranking Member followed by Hon. TJ. Hon. Kamket is not very far from Hon. TJ, but the senior ranking Member is the Speaker. Hon. TJ, you very well know that the laws are in this House, but the problem in our country is the enforcement part. view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: I am going to deal with enforcement, whether it is noise pollution, waste management, environmental degradation, Nairobi River and dumpsites. If we work together as the leadership, I want to assure you that the people who have been given the mandate… NEMA has police officers while other agencies do not have. Why is it so? This is because of how important the environment is. Hon. TJ, I agree with you that there are issues in the creation of the Nairobi Rivers Commission through Gazette Notice No. 14891. But we are very lucky. I do not want to be accused. We ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: when the Executive Order is signed and the issue of Nairobi River comes to my Ministry. We want to work within a legal framework. Secondly, you are asking about Nairobi River and the 30-metre riparian size. We will drench Nairobi River. We will build embankments so that the river comes back to its course and carry the water. That presentation was done to His Excellency the President on Monday by our team. I will look for a day to invite the Nairobi leaders to show you the plan that we have. I will not succeed in this Ministry without the ... view
• 2 Oct 2024 in National Assembly: Let me speak to my good sister from Busia on flooding control. We have done research. Work with KFS and KEFRI and plant more bamboo trees. Bamboo trees have become successful in the control of flooding. We will provide seedlings to you. Let us plant as many bamboo trees as possible, and you will count on me for success. It is the same problem we face with Tana River when it floods. As we get more money, we can do it. It is an intervention for restoration of the ecosystem. If you mix bamboo trees with indigenous tree species and ... view
